"Excellent location for exploring the Gjirokastër bazaar — right in the heart of it all. Arriving close to midnight made parking a bit tricky to find at first, but once we explored the bazaar the next day we discovered a convenient parking deck nearby with shortcuts that made getting to and from the hotel with our bags easy. Our room had stunning views of the mountains, the castle, and the city below — an unforgettable setting. Highly recommend!"

Top Gjirokastra Castle Hotel Reviews

Hotel Apollon Saranda

8/10 Good

"Staff were really nice. Aircon did not work in our room though."

Julia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is modern and well maintained with a fantastic roof terrace for meals and drinks. Quality of the menu choices was very good with reasonable prices. The bar offered amazing cocktails at excellent prices. Pool was in shade until noon and with sun beds provided which were very well cushioned. Pool towels were provided free of charge. Reception, Bar & Restaurant staff were exceptional in the service provided. The hotel is located very near the beach and bars / restaurants and shops. There is a steep but short hill road to manage when accessing from the beach road. In our opinion the hotel was very good value for money on abed and breakfast basis."
